Deferral of intra-entity unrealized gross profit: Remaining inventory—end of year $32,000 Gross profit percentage (GP $30,000 ÷ Sales $80,000) × 37½% Profit within remaining inventory $12,000 Ownership percentage × 25% Intra-entity unrealized gross profit $ 3,000 b. In 2015, the deferral of $3,000 will likely become realized by BuyCo’s use or sale of this inventory. Thus, the equity accrual for 2015 will be increased by $3,000 in that year. Recognition of this amount is simply being delayed from 2014 until 2015, the year actually earned.

c. The direction (upstream versus downstream) of the intra-entity transfer does not affect the above answers. However as discussed in Chapter Five, a controlling interest calls for a 100% gross profit deferral for downstream intra-entity transfers. In the presence of only signification influence, however, equity method accounting is identical regardless of whether an intra-entity transfer is upstream or downstream.
21. (25 minutes) (Conversion from fair-value method to equity method with a subsequent sale of a portion of the investment)

a. In 2014, the fair-value method (available-for-sale security) was appropriate. Thus, the only income recognized was the dividends declared. Collins should originally have reported dividend income equal to 10 percent of Merton’s dividends.

b. The assumption is that Collins’ level of ownership now provides the company with the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Merton. Factors that indicate such a level of influence are described in the textbook and include representation on the investee’s board of directors, material intra-entity transactions, and interchange of managerial personnel.
22. (continued)

c. Despite holding 25 percent of Merton’s outstanding stock, application of the equity method is inappropriate absent the ability to apply significant influence. Factors that indicate a lack of such influence include: an agreement whereby the owner surrenders significant rights, a concentration of the remaining ownership, and failure to gain representation on the board of directors.

d. The equity method attempts to reflect the relationship between the investor and the investee in two ways. First, the investor recognizes investment income as soon as it is earned by the investee. Second, the Investment account reported by the investor is increased and decreased to indicate changes in the underlying book value of the investee.
